First of all gain meaningful flying experience -and not just pottering around a circuit with student pilots. Get yourself a real job flying general aviation charter work up North somewhere. Experience the weather, the thunderstorms which you are bound to hit one night without radar and see for yourself the shonk operators who abound all over Australia. Before you go, you will need an instrument rating. Pick up a couple of thousand hours IFR experience.
Only then will you qualified to talk and teach flight safety from a sound background of been there-done that. All the theoretical qualifications, degrees and other business card decorations are worth little without experience of decision making that equips you to teach flight safety subjects and be respected in the job.
